la Tfc- Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Let's Uik some more today about Ike's budget (or the 1962 fiscal yea.-. Its a political clay pigeon to be shot at, of course. It won't itand, as is. or anywhere near as is. Present prospects are that when the returns are all in what will be spent in the 1962 fiscal year (which will begin on July 1, 1961. and end on June 30. 1962) will be MORE than the 80.9 bil lions Ike suggests, rather than A sum of thai size is practically beyond imagination. It's . hard enough to imagine one billion dol lars, not to mention nearly 81 billion. So let's see if we can break it dowrr a little. The statisticians told us yester day that Mr. Average Citizen's share of the 80.9 billion dollar (pending budget will be $436.83. That will be your share as an INDIVIDUAL. If you are the head of an average family of four, your share, will be $1747.32. Forget the odd 32 cents and call it $1747.00 ... or round it out and call it $1750. That's quite a chunk to take out of your income to pay your FEDERAL taxes. Vou'll have lo pay your state and Olocal taxes in addition. , But- You will say "I won't have to pay that much." Not in cash, in one lump, maybe. But don't fool yourself. Taxes are added to the cost of doing business and so have to be added to prices. You'll pay your share. So much for the total.

The agency has proposea re quiring that all drug firms en close such information with every package delivered to pharmacists. The American Medical Associa tion has suggested, however, that this may not get at the root ot the problem because the informa tion would go only to pharmacists and not to doctors.
